Black Stars captain, Andre Ayew, expressed his joy at finding the net again in the French Ligue 1 after an eight-year absence. The 33-year-old scored a remarkable brace in Le Havre’s thrilling 3-3 draw against Lorient on a Sunday afternoon fixture.
Ayew's goals proved crucial, with a header in the 85th minute and a spectacular bicycle kick finish in the 94th minute, securing a comeback and tying the game for Le Havre. These goals marked Ayew's first since joining Le Havre as a free agent in the late months of 2023.
Having last played in the French Ligue 1 for Olympique de Marseille before moving to the English Premier League side Swansea City in June 2015, Ayew expressed his satisfaction, stating in the post-game presser, "It’s pleasing to score again in the Ligue 1. I had been waiting for that moment since I came back."
Ayew's notable performance in the Ligue 1 comes on the heels of a disappointing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) campaign in Cote D’Ivoire, where Ghana exited the tournament at the group stage without securing a win in three games.
Le Havre currently occupies the 11th position on the league log with 23 points, and Andre Ayew aims to maintain his impressive form as they travel to face AS Monaco at the Stade Louis II next Sunday.
